copied!<p>There are no good place to keep your models in. You can keep them in separate assembly if the project is big and there are a lot of ViewModels (Data Transfer Objects). Also you can keep them in separate folder of the site project. For example, in <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/oxite" rel="noreferrer">Oxite</a> they are placed in Oxite project which contains a lot of various classes too. Controllers in Oxite are moved to separate project and views are in separate project too.<br> In <a href="http://code.google.com/p/codecampserver/" rel="noreferrer">CodeCampServer</a> ViewModels are named *Form and they are placed in UI project in Models folder.<br> In <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/mvcpress" rel="noreferrer">MvcPress</a> project they are placed in Data project, which also contains all code to work with database and a bit more (but I didn't recommend this approach, it's just for a sample)<br> So you can see there are many point of view. I usually keep my ViewModels (DTO objects) in the site project. But when I have more than 10 models I prefer to move them to separate assembly. Usually in this case I'm moving controllers to separate assembly too.<br> Another question is how to easily map all data from model to your ViewModel. I suggest to have a look at <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/AutoMapper" rel="noreferrer">AutoMapper</a> library. I like it very much, it does all dirty work for me.<br> And I also I suggest to look at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sharp-architecture/" rel="noreferrer">SharpArchitecture</a> project. It provides very good architecture for projects and it contains a lot of cool frameworks and guidances and great community.</p>
